Kindly ask for reviews on this patchset :)

Here, I include a more detailed effect of this patchset.

* Record process
The trace-cmd record process is not changed.

# trace-cmd record -p function_graph -P 4331

trace-cmd can communicate with the kernel to get the actual funcgraph_exit
event format. If the kernel supports ftrace-retval, then trace-cmd will
use the updated event format that has "retval" field.

* Report process
By default, trace-cmd won't print each function's retval.

# trace-cmd report

However, if one wants to turn it on and the kernel supports the feature,
do the following (through fgraph plugin options):

# trace-cmd report -O fgraph:depth -O fgraph:tailprint -O fgraph:retval

The output looks like this:

  <idle>-0     [012] d....   361.071503: funcgraph_entry:                   |  switch_mm_irqs_off() { (0)
  <idle>-0     [012] d....   361.071507: funcgraph_entry:        0.491 us   |    load_new_mm_cr3(); (1) (ret=0)
  <idle>-0     [012] d....   361.071508: funcgraph_entry:        0.251 us   |    switch_ldt(); (1) (ret=0)
  <idle>-0     [012] d....   361.071508: funcgraph_exit:         5.901 us   |  } /* switch_mm_irqs_off */ (0) (ret=0)

Each function's return value will be printed at the function's return point.
